Hello,
I can't get this to work. I tried lots of permutations of virsh
attach-disk and xm block-attach but neither resulted in attaching a disk
the domain that it would recognize. Format would always show, something
to the effect of
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c3d3 <drive type unknown>
/xpvd/x...@3
1. c3t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 12531 alt 0 hd 255 sec 63>
/xpvd/x...@51712
I as attempting to attach a sparse vdi image of Nevada 105 I just
installed through Virtual Box this morning. Dom0 is running 105 as well.
I tried
xm block-attach dse:odevtst-1 /export/home/mock/Nevada105.vdi 3 w
xm block-attach dse:odevtst-1 /export/home/mock/test-vdi 3 w
virsh attach-disk dse:odevtst-1 /export/home/mock/Nevada105.vdi hdb
--driver tap --subdriver vdisk
virsh attach-disk dse:odevtst-1 /export/home/mock/test-vdi hdb
--driver tap --subdriver vdisk
I even tried using vdiskadm create to create an image and then copy my
vdi over the existing vdi file.
I did scp the image from another system, but the file size is the same
so I wouldn't think that it would be a problem.
Thoughts?
